    These are great without the bun and with the tzatziki, a leafy fresh herb salad and a tomato red onion and cornichon salad...if you are on a low carb diet!

    Tasty but burgers didn't hold together as well as others - will try with beaten egg next time.

    These were delicious and went down well with the whole family! Agree though that they didn't hold together too well - tasted great though...

    These are quite the best burgers ever - don't stint on the harissa if you like a bit of spice. I used coriander instead of parsley. Secret of getting them to hold together is to mix very well with your hands, so the prep. time specified needs to be doubled!

    Truely excellent. I made exactly to the receipe but didn't bother with the buns. I served instead on a bed of spinach accompanied by sweet potato chips. The harissa is key, giving a very tangy flavour (warm but not overpowering). My burgers did remain in shape but I froze/chilled for 15 mins prior to cooking to aid binding (a tip from the tangy tuna burger recipe) and did make sure all ingredients were chopped as small as possible. Agree with the prep time comment. Double - but its worth it!

    Very tasty, didn't bother with the buns but had a tomato and red onion salad instead. The following day had them again but this time in a wrap with the tzatziki and some hot salsa which was equally delicious!

    My Boyfriend said they were the best tasting burgers he has ever had! I couldnt find any Harissa paste so I used some left over Red Thai curry paste instead and added a few dried chilli flakes. I will definitely make these again and again.

    I have made this twice and it is delicious. When I make it for the children I leave out the spice. The first time I forgot the cheese but it was still delicious. It is easy to make your own tzatziki; yoghurt, grated cucumber, garlic and mint sauce!

    These are simply the nicest burgers I have ever tasted and so easy to make. I have made them a couple of times but they have broken up so this time I added a beaten egg and open freezed them for approx 45 mins/1 hour before cooking and they were perfect. I will be making lots of these for bbq's this summer!
